So I've dropped only 4 questions on #popmaster all week, but the eras fell right for me. I struggle on modern stuff, mid 90s, many album tracks, early 70s, and a lot of 60s, 50s to name but a few. Compared to likes of Neil Barker, Ronnie, @SunnyMonday9 etc I'm very average.
Memories..... Richard Latto will understand.... #stereounderground youtube.com/watch?v=hmm--H…
For the #stereounderground listeners who missed it at the time, Richard Latto mentioned his Roundtable documentary which went out on BBC Radio Solent on 9 Feb 2019 (the 40th anniversary of the original broadcast) (and I played a small part as well!)

Another cracking #popmaster encounter today (27 as a losing score is pretty unlucky), I blanked on Ace Of Base which denied me a full house on R1 but a lucky guess about the Rollers secured me the maximum on R2.
Return to form today on #popmaster today with a double full house (plus 3/10), but if I ever get back on, it will probably be deja vu again.....
So a pair of 33s on #popmaster today, two silly mistakes on Round 1 and had no idea on Cozy Powell on round 2. Decent contest today, two evenly matched players.
In the end, that was another incredible performance by Ronnie O'Sullivan as he came from 6-3 down to beat Ali Carter 10-7, winning seven of the last eight frames to lift his eighth Masters crown to add to his eighth UK title last month. A fitting conclusion to a fine week. BBC Snooker
If anyone would like to hear a selection of clips from the Anne Nightingale Request Show (annie nightingale) in 1985 & 86 you can do so here:

I'm sure everyone who listened to annie nightingale has one song which they associate with her and I recall her playing this record in 1987 and saying 'it won't be the Christmas number 1' but I bought it after hearing it on her show but didn't make it a hit:

I think I had my best ever week on #popmaster with an average of 36.9. Two maximums today and five for the week along with 2x36, 2x33, 1x30. And yes I have put the email in this week to hopefully seek redemption from last time......
A very competitive #popmaster encounter today, I scored 30, 39 and 3/10. I had to laugh when the second guy said 'I know nothing about the 90s' and then got the question about the Corrs from 1998!
33 (no Fortunes) 36 (no year) and 3/10 on #popmaster today so just narrowly missed out on a maximum in both rounds
Frustratingly, I was one year out on round 1 which prevented me getting a double full house on #popmaster
